HTC launched seven phones yesterday in India, and the vendor is now back for an encore. The latest HTC handset to make its way to the country is the One M9+ Prime Camera Edition, which retains the styling of the One M9 while paring down the hardware to compete in the mid-range space.
The phone comes with a 5-inch Full HD display, and is powered by MediaTek's Helio X10 SoC. There's 2GB of RAM on offer, and 16GB internal storage along with a microSD slot that can accommodate cards up to 2TB in size, and a 2840mAh battery. There's a 13MP camera at the back with OIS and 4K video recording, and an UltraPixel shooter up front. You also get the BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, and unlike the latest HTC phones, the One M9+ Prime Camera Edition runs Lollipop out of the box.
The phone is now available for ₹23,990 ($358), although for that price, there are plenty of better alternatives available.

HTC's latest phone in India is not so new after all
By the way its HTC M9+ Prime camera edition AND NOT THE HTC M9 prime camera edition which is launched in India
And fixed!
They must have had plenty of M9 housings left over that they need to rid themselves of.
Yes, which is different than just using the same shell and putting an "S" on it (wink, wink).

What a waste

Well, it's the M9 without the alleged heat problems and with a decent camera... But, I got rid of my M9 because of the audio quality.

Hmmm weird that's probably the best thing about it. Just sold mine to get an s6 edge plus for the camera.

It may run Lollipop out of the box. But will it be getting the Marshmallow update eventually? If yes, then it makes for a good offering at that price

It makes no sense to release this with Lollipop. Otherwise, the phone seems quite good.
